SFL COACHING MERRY-GO-ROUND

[Confucius]

Exelby at Marion hey......good luck you Helmut....great bloke, great player (was), a bit to work on as a coach. Seriously would love to see the bloke pull it together but I think you will need a big cheque book. Think he should concentrate on coaching and give playing away. Certainly has the passion though.

Where did Marion finish this year?

[Navy2005]

Rumour has it that former Marion premiership coach Mick Duncan is now available would there be any SFL clubs interested in him?

[lion heart]

Being an ex Sullies premiership coach the Lions certainly would.

Scratcher Neil has the 18 gig at South Adelaide. (FORMER St Kilda and current North Adelaide assistant I think?)

I see there was a few SFL jobs advertised in todays paper.

Christies beach - a lot of juniors but would need to recruit a few players
happy valley - finals team already. Just may needa little polishing
Reynella - Another team capable of anything on the day. From the outside looks like a lot of chiefs involved
morphett vale - Played of in 4 GF in a row and could not see them sliding down to far. Should and will get only the best person applying
sulliues/lonsdale - A team that really struggled this year. No juniors and not much depth. Would this be career suicide or a great challenge for a guy like shane lynch who has done the same with aldinga (maybe not to the extreme of Aldinga)

You would think after all the talking around the christies job that somebody would be stitched up there but today they re advertised. Would this be because nobody wants the job???????????? and may just be holding out for one of the better jobs on offer in the SFL

I wonder then whether Souths Under 17s and 19s coaches from this year David Tiller and fomer Kenilworth and Cove coach Ben Porter will b available to take on any of the vacant SFL jobs then?

Porter's sights are set far higher than coaching suburban football.

David Tiller's name has been mentioned in the same breath as North Adelaide League coach. A big step up for sure if true...

he lost his hair quite early in his career - hopefully another a SFL club chases his services. i reckon he'd be a good coach for sure.

[LaughingKookaburra]

As an outsider looking in i can totally understand this statement but from an insiders perspective it is far from the truth. Fact is we do not have great depth but our best 21 is still a top 8 team in the southern league as it stands. I can gaurantee any coach that is willing to put his balls on the line will find the Lions den is far from the basket case it appears. We lost no one from our 2007 squad (bar Baxter and Dean to South for most of the year which were huge losses) and gained Schultz who turned out to be a great pickup. This is a team that made the finals for 3 consecutive seasons before 2009.

We started the season off reasonably with a narrow loss to morphy park, a win against Marion and pushed Morphett Vale hard for 3 quarters before going down by about 5 goals. Our season fell away from there as injuries took there toll and our form and confidence went with it. We played over 80 players in the seniors which is a staggering amount considering it was a struggle to get a reserves team together for the second half of the season.

True we do not have many juniors coming through but the one thing we did get out of the 2008 season is we did unearth 2 brilliant 16 year olds in Adam Rigney and Samuel Kelly. That and the fact that 15 of our best 21 are 24 or under gives me reason to believe that with the right coach and some even luck with injuries we will be back playing finals footy in 2009.
